Job Description:

This position on the Autonomy team in the UK will lead the delivery of autonomous behaviors into our products, acting as technical leads, senior individual contributors, and/or as team leads that are also hands-on contributors. We expect candidates to demonstrate unparalleled end-to-end outcome ownership, driving the architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of safe and effective mission autonomy software throughout the entire product lifecycle.


What you'll do:
  • Develop tactical autonomy software to enable unmanned platforms to perform complex missions across air, land, sea, and space domains with minimal human supervision
  • Implement and test behaviors that enable multi-agent coordination, target engagement, reconnaissance, and survivability in contested scenarios
  • Work throughout the entire of the software development lifecycle, from requirements capture through design, implementation, verification, and validation, utilizing tools and workflows consistent with collaborative high-quality software development
  • Champion a product-line mindset in technology road-mapping and to enable reuse of behaviors across multiple projects and portfolios
  • Utilize your software and systems expertise to architect behaviors as scalable software subsystems, that may interact directly or indirectly with a breadth of system components (e.g., sensor processing, state estimation, peer-to-peer communications, contingency management, actuation, and payload interfacing)
  • Leverage internal product and program-specific engineering teams to rapidly deliver state-of-the-art capabilities to vehicle platforms (whether internally and externally owned), with a clear path towards architecture and capability evolution over time
  • Collaborate with external teams, aligning on interfacing requirements between diverse systems, often working closely with vehicle integration teams and associated operational subject matter experts (e.g., fighter pilots, UAV operators, etc.)
  • Act as a subject matter expert for software engineering, representing software equities in a multi-stakeholder environment including engineering, business and sales leadership.
  • Travel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time

    • Required qualifications:
  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • Proficient in production-level C++ software development
  • 7+ years' experience in one or more of the following: software sub-system scheduling and integration, behavior planning, task and resource allocation, motion planning, optimization, or flight controls
  • Experience with collaborative software development tools for version control, issue tracking, code reviews, and release management
  • Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams, set technical direction, and manage full project lifecycles from concept to deployment
  • Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity
  • Desire to work in a highly collaborative, fast paced, enthusiastic, and mission-centric environment
  • Capacity to act as the technical owner for an entire software system, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment, and evolution
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

    • Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience across a breadth of technology readiness levels (TRLs) and demonstration of bridging concepts from research-grade to operationally ready
  • Experience with mission systems integration, and ideally, hands-on experience supporting integration events and/or flight demonstrations
  • Experience across a multitude of application areas, including but not limited to:
  • Collaborative mission planning, behavior planning, synchronized teaming
  • Automated red force vs blue force tactics
  • Motion planning across a variety of vehicle classes, kinematic constraints, and team compositions
  • Weapons target assignment, Sensor target pairing, sensor-centric control laws
  • Collision avoidance, geofencing, and safety-monitoring
  • Experience in more than one operational effect (e.g., strike, air combat, surveillance, reconnaissance, etc.) and more than one associated domain (e.g., air, space, maritime, ground, etc.)
  • Experience with FOSS software that is commonly used in robotic systems (e.g., ROS, OMPL, optimization solvers, etc.)
  • Experience with simulation tools and environments (e.g., AFSIM, NGTS) for testing and validation
  • Familiarity with practical aspects of navigation and communications systems
  • Experience across the product delivery lifecycle, from emerging opportunity through system acceptance, deployment, and sustainment
  • Familiarity with systems engineering methodologies
  • Familiarity with high-assurance software development processes (e.g., DO-178C or equivalent MIL-STD's)
    • #LI-LD2
    #LE
